Need urgent help!

Yesterday, after a few apps were updated, my phone started to show non-stop messages like "unfortunately xxx has stopped working", xxx being any and everything like messaging, e-mail, superuser, etc. even when I was not doing anything.

Rebooting did not help. Then I started searching on XDA and on the web and found several people reporting similar issues, but always with one specific application such as music or e-mail, but not several (or all) like I had.

I then tried a few of the "solutions" that worked for them like clearing data and updates of the Play Store and letting Android reinstall the latest version. No change.

I uninstalled Lucky Patcher and Titanium Backup as some people said their patches could cause similar problems. No change.

I cleared Davik's cache. No change.

Finally, I executed "fix permissions". The phone rebooted and now stays forever on the last splash screen (the multi-colored floating geometric shapes).

I then reflashed the ROM and the Kernel, but it still does not pass that splash screen (it is not frozen - it keeps moving).

My questions are:

1- Is there any way to retrieve from the phone my Titanium Backup folder that is on the internal SD card (it is still there because on recovery all the internal SD directories still show)?

2- Does anyone ever experienced this issue of suddenly all applications stop working? This is the second time it happens and last time I had to reflash the ROM.

3- Does anyone have any idea why fixing permissions put me in this loop and how to get out of it?

Thank you

I think you running out of space in your /data and-or /datadata folder. This is usually the culprit when you start getting FC's by the ton. Do you remember how many apps TB report has backed up ? (50,100,200 ?). Go in recovery and enter the file manager and delete a few big apps folder in /datadata and then try to reboot afterwards, see if that corrects your issue.
[Captivate Android Development] mmalka:
If I remember correctly, about 200 apps. My issue right now is no longer the apps closing, but not completing the boot, being stuck on one of the splash screens, as described.

Indirectly, you just gave me a good idea: I went to the file manager, mounted the directories, and I am copying my internal SD card to the external, so that I won't lose my backup and other stuff.

Now, I will try to reflash stock and then start everything over. Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] silvertag:
Well that's it.. your data folder is probably full with 200 apps+data (Also if you restore all those with TB apps+data get ready to have full FC's and trailing garbage). Try deleting some stuff in /datadata to make some head room and i'm sure your boot process will work correctly. It is trying to write there but there's no room so your bugged out of the homescreen. Your updates hit the ceiling with no more room and the FC's started from there.
[Captivate Android Development] mmalka:
I used file manager in recovery to try to delete a folder in data/data but the phone froze. It seems that the directory is corrupted.
[Captivate Android Development] silvertag:
Sounds like your due for a forced wipe and reinstall. Just make sure you run TB with restore app only and no data ;)
[Captivate Android Development] mmalka:
Yeah. Doing it right now... :(

Well i found out that this priject is kinda closed, i read a commen from DemonWav on the Vibrant forum (he could have pasted that same comment here) or change the first post) so here it is what he said to someone that asked is the project was dead.

I guess i didn't want to face the truth about this project being dead...

I'm having an issue installing apps from the market. Specifically music. I tried searching the thread but couldn't find a definitive answer. Music wasn't able to stream any music or download anything. So I tried to update it in the market and kept getting problem parsing the package. I uninstalled it through tibu and tried to install it again through the market. Now I'm getting errors saying incompatible update. I've tried clearing cache to no avail
[Captivate Android Development] RichMD:
And even if you don't run into that issue, it appeared to install OK for me but failed to boot. Installing the ROM after installing the kernel (and the proper CWM) resolved the problem. It would help people avoid problems if the OP could be updated.
[Captivate Android Development] cliftomr1082:
After installing beta 2, home button and back button are backwards. Also auto rotate if on makes lots of screens rotate when you when you want then to.

Really loving this update! I can honestly say this is the happiest I've been with my cappy...ever! I was thrilled when I switched to miui and thought I'd never leave. In fact stayed with miui for a couple months, a miracle for me! But this ics build is really rocking my world! And imagine...it's still a beta! You devs should be proud.

USB Mode?

So I'm curious... When you plug the phone in, is it supposed to go directly into USB Storage mode and instantly connect to your computer? And a few other questions... After connecting to my PC a few times, I noticed my phone stopped recognizing my music. I figured my SD card wasn't bad because 1. Android doesn't say as usual when it's bad 2. My pics on my SD are recognized in Gallery 3. I can explore it using a file manger. ( Androzip, because for some odd reason Root Explorer just constantly force closes on open.) But other than that I love this Rom. It's just amazing :D

Is anyone else unable to backup/restore anything in CWM after flashing to beta 2?

When I try to back up, it gives me an error message, and when I try to restore to an old CM7 backup, it gives me a md5 sum mismatch error.
[Captivate Android Development] popfan:
The problem is in the Beta1 kernel. They are trying to fix it. I have problems at beta1. It does not recogizie my boot_image.
[Captivate Android Development] Eschmacher:
I had the same problem on alpha 7. If you can't get to download mode to flash back to stock, try powering off, holding volume up&down, and then insert the usb cable.

I ended up going back to stock, then flashing back to cm7, then restoring my backup.

[Captivate Android Development] rrlara:
I'm on Beta 1, it was been working flawlessly!! Great job to the developers, Thanks.

One thing is that battery life is not very good when the phone is on idle. Google + is eating most of it, sometimes is greater than 60%. Anybody having this issues as well? How can you control this?
[Captivate Android Development] xxProphecyxx:
I am on Beta 1 as well and have usually gotten really good battery life. As for google+, it doesn't even show up on my battery stats.

I also concur on the great job from everyone who has helped in making this come together.
[Captivate Android Development] Snow_fox:
I might be the only one, but I have had issues with beta2 that I didn't have with beta 1.

When going to android market it would go into landscape mode by force.

I couldn't open any apps or anything and keep them open.

I think ontop of all that tried to do recovery to beta 1 and now my phone is glitchin like crazy

Won't go past the kernal screen.. won't reboot into recovery from ADB

Tried 3 button recovery several times.. never goes into CWM.

While I see both drives on my computer it won't let me search them or do anything.. now looks like I gotta make a jig in the morning.

Just flashed Beta 2, running much more smoothly. I also can't read because I'm a complete idiot and miss all of the posts that are important to solving my problems.

Problems I have yet to solve:

A pop up will appear saying "Unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped." when I boot up my phone. It also occasionally says this when I connect/disconnect the USB cable.

Computer no longer sees the phone for USB storage. (Script Manager fix did not work.)

None of my music works in the music player unless it's streaming, which I can't do since I have a limited data plan and I need my music for work.

I really really really REALLY REALLY don't want to do a factory reset, as CWM doesn't let me load backups anymore due to MD5 sums mismatches.
[Captivate Android Development] Snow_fox:
Update: I did manage to finally get into download mode by holding up + down putting in the charger from my comp then my battery.

Now I will reflash I spose..

anyone else having compass issues? I have tried all of the usual calibration techniques including:

- figure 8s in the air

- calibration using GPS Status & Toolbox

- trying lots of different modems

The issues i have are that the compass is pointing the wrong direction to begin with, and then depending on the angle that im holding my phone, turning in any direction will either cause the compass on my phone to rotate the opposite direction (like, i turn to face east, and the compass will turn to face west) OR if im holding the phone at another angle the compass just wont move at all.

it almost seems sorta like the compass is on the wrong axis; for example tilting the phone on its Y axis (ie. phone is vertical, screen facing me, and then i rotate it so that the screen is still facing me, but upside down), i get a very clear, if incorrect, response from the compass.

Is it maybe something to do with cm7 modems? My compass is fine when i'm on stock.
[Captivate Android Development] NOTORIOUS VR:
So is Beta 2 worth it? I have no issues so far with B1, which is why I am asking.
[Captivate Android Development] popfan:
Currently the only major difference that Beta2 makes really is DPI levels and a few other minor fixes until we get the Beta 2 kernel which will allow for more of the fixes to come though.

[Captivate Android Development] BigMc71:
I’ve been running Beta 1 for a little over a day now. My initial observations are as follows:

1)	Initial battery life does seem to be draining much faster than my previous ROM (Pinnacle 1.3). This could just be perception versus reality due to higher than normal use playing with a new ROM. Primary usage is split between Android OS and Screen. CPU Spy reports that I’m primarily using 100MHz at 30% and 1000MHz at 9% with 1200MHz/1300MHz unused. I’m currently running through my first full drain/charge cycle and will be using my battery monitor widget to chart results after a few cycle and calibration.

2)	Home screen scrolling started out very smooth. It’s starting to lag more and more as I add more icons.

3)	Cellular signal strength is much lower than previous ROM (can’t remember which modem it uses). I’ve only used JVT so far and want to give it a chance. In areas where I know reception is difficult, I would previously struggle to get one or two bars, now I get one bar or no service. I know the phone is at least capable of better signal strength based on previous results on other ROMs.

4)	Wifi also seems to have lower signal strength in comparison to previous ROM. I’m not sure if this is modem related also but I do know the phone is capable of better.

5)	GPS seems to lock fairly quickly and accurately. Will test it with Navigation on my way home tonight.

6)	Powering off – If I power off the phone with the USB cable plugged into an AC adaptor charger or USB computer port, the phone turns off and then immediately back on. For a second or two, I see the rotating “star” pattern like I would have seen just before the battery symbol showed on the screen but then it starting the reboot screens. If I do not have the phone plugged in and turn it off, it stays off. If I plug the phone in while it is off, it immediately boots up the phone.

7)	Google music cannot play any of my MP3’s (“Error Playing the Request Track”). Double Twist can play them.

Hope this helps
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
you need to flash the correct kernel for your phone

Damn, calm your tits. I'm only saying I got the same results.

Thank you. But I've already flashed the right kernel and the buttons haven't changed.

[Captivate Android Development] markjo:
Yeah idk, I tried different combinations when it came to flashing methods but for some reason the buttons won't turn out right. Last I just did was a full wipe, flash of Beta 2, flash of the kernel, reflash of B2 twice more and still no fix. Maybe my case is just an outlier.

OK, I think I've found an issue that hasn't been addressed yet in this thread.

For some reason, after flashing Beta 2, my phone stopped ringing and was going straight to voicemail. I could make calls just fine, SMS was working just fine and everything else was great.

What fixed it (for anyone else experiencing this problem).

1) Boot into Recovery

2) Clear Data, Cache, Dalvik

3) Flash Beta 2 again.

4) When done, clear Data and Cache again

5) Flash Beta 2 a second time.

6) Flash Beta 1 kernel

7) Clear Data again.

8) Reboot.

Hope this helps anyone else experiencing this issue. It sucks that you've gotta start all over again, but at least the phone rings now.

Also, did anyone ever find a workaround for apps showing that they weren't compatible with the device? I'm getting this error when trying to get Root Explorer from the app store. Thanks.

Did you restore root explorer with Tibu? I restored mine but chose app only and it works perfect for me?
[Captivate Android Development] kppanic:
There is an update for root explorer in the market for those with small font problem. The correct version should be 2.17 .2. That will fix the problem.
[Captivate Android Development] lieutenantsword:
Well, here's another problem.

If one has wiped their system before installing Beta 2, you're stuck where it comes to Root Explorer and downloading it from the market. I read in another forum that if the DPI isn't set to 240, Root Explorer will throw an "incompatible" error and be unavailable in the market. The damning part is, in order to change the DPI from 200 to 240, you need Root Explorer to get to the system/build.prop file to edit it. I tried LCD Density (root) with no luck.

So now I'm going to try restoring Root Explorer with TiBu, app only, and hoping I can get to the build.prop file to change these settings. This whole evolution is becoming frustrating.
